Hi,
I was reading the encasement posting from a number of years ago. What company is now recommended? And, KillerQueen, if I remember correctly, you recommended using a mattress encasement for the box spring. Do you still recommend that?
Thanks.

And, another question. I had read about sanitizing mattresses and box springs before encasing. I don't know if I have bed bugs but I was thinking of doing it as a precaution. Do I need to sanitize them first and what does that entail?
Thanks.

I am not an expert but been on the site several years. What do you mean by sanitized? Like cleaned or just treated? A good mattress encasement (and boxspring too) will prevent any bugs from escaping. Mine have been on my bed for at least 5-6 years. I do not have any cats so they are undisturbed. Be sure to tape the zipper closed and you should be fine.
